Discussion: Concepts of Leadership!!

Good leaders are made not born. If you have the desire and willpower, you can become an effective leader. Good leaders develop through a never ending process of self-study, education, training, and experience.

To inspire your workers into higher levels of teamwork, there are certain things you must be, know, and, do. These do not come naturally, but are acquired through continual work and study. Good leaders are continually working and studying to improve their leadership skills; they are NOT resting on their laurels.

Sheetal,

I agree that some leaders may have been created via the methods you mention. On the other-hand, life and living has created many more great leaders, some good, some bad.

A great leader may just have a “vision” and a captive audience. With just that, one could rally millions. Add personal integrity, responsibility and ethics, instilled as a child, by good parents and you now have a leader for the ages. This person may have been formally educated or not.

I personally feel that books, hard work, education and training don’t create a great leader, but bring out the leader in an already great person.

Sincerely,

Dr. Marcus Ettinger

Sheetal,

I couldn’t agree more with Dr Ettinger. I believe great leaders are born with that potential – they may or may not use them and may never become great leaders, but they will be leaders; with the further training & education they become GREAT!

Conversely, you can get all the book learning you want & still not be a great leader if you do not have the innate qualities – empathy, compassion, a true desire to inspire others; otherwise, you are just in charge, not a great leader.
